Erika and her five nephews that she loves so much.
Day 12
For some reason I’m a little tired tonight so will try to keep it short. It must be that hospital food that is wearing me out. LOL
It was a good day and for that we are grateful!
Only one test today with no reported results. We spent the day resting, watched a Nascar race and rooted for Erika’s Penn State Nittany Lions. We won’t bring up the score since she is able to read this on her I-Phone.
We were blessed tonight to meet a young girl named Erin. She heard about Erika and wanted to come see her. She is a second year nursing student who lost her mother three weeks ago due to a similar bleed following a car accident. I told her that I would be praying for her and figured you all would too.
I continue to add to my skill set. I have become a docent for the hospital. I’m not sure it’s a good sign when people start asking me for directions to different units and I actually know where to send them. The ladies in the hospital Café know me by name and the nurses’ tend to think I am on payroll. That’s okay though, it has its benefits.
Erika asked me to share this scripture with you. It was in a card sent from my cousin. I think it fits nicely. Jeremiah 30:17 For I will make you healthy again and I will make you well from your wounds, says the Lord…
It was a week ago Sunday that healing started to come as people prayed. This Sunday please give Him thanks for He has been so merciful. Although we have an uncertain week ahead of us, Erika and I have a peace about it. We still need your prayers though so don’t get any funny ideas about stopping.
With much appreciation,
Tim & Erika

Thank you for the update! Here is to a relaxing Sunday ahead of you with a good week to follow. I would imagine you could get some free ice cream out of some of those skill sets! We will be praying for you and Erika and are so happy for how far you have come. -Kristi
So glad you are sharing this journey with us via this great wonderful web! We are praying and feeling like we know you better for this journey! I was trying to explain to someone the other day how I know you...Gary said, "Isn't he like your cousin-in-law?" I still haven't figured it out but thought that was close. Still praying!
We have been blessed to read all your updates on Erika this week and see how God's healing power is at work. We shared your blog with the family and all are praying for you both. Tim, you have quite a sense of humor which I'm sure is helping you and Erika at this time. God is truly at work in your lives and we will keep the prayers going. Love, Bob & Dotsy
I have my mother on the phone right now so we are doing this together.(She's so not into technology) We are so glad to hear that Erika is doing better. She has been in our thoughts and prayers and they won't stop. Please tell her hello for us and give her a kiss and a hug, which I am sure you will not mind. My dad and I both thought Penn State looked bad yesterday. Don't think they even showed up. Take care and good luck with the test tomorrow and keep us posted. Love, Jennifer, Julia, and James
